Steel pallet racks (SPRs) are used in the industrial buildings, warehouses and superstores
for storing a multitude of different kinds of goods. Because of changing needs over the years …

The objective of this paper is to provide a brief review of recent (over approximately the last
five years) advances in the application, analysis and design of cold-formed steel structures …

Full-scale shake table investigations are strongly required to understand the actual
performance of storage racks and to improve the rack design guidelines. This paper …

The purpose of this paper is to explore the bearing capacity and energy dissipation of
several variations of speed-lock connections of cold-formed steel storage racks. Commonly …

Steel storage pallet racks are usually unbraced in the down-aisle direction in order to make
palletised goods always accessible. The down-aisle stability of unbraced rack structures …

Since, in the case of plan-eccentric, externally-braced, high-rack storage structures made of
steel, damage to the central part of the structure can cause damage to the stored goods, and …

In this review paper, first of all, an analysis of the circular economy and its application to
steel structures is carried out. It highlights the need to apply the philosophy of Design for …

Element deactivation is one of the most suitable methods in a finite element (FE) analysis of
discontinuous features of collapse accidents. However, deactivated elements are typically …

The paper examines the seismic response of an existing externally braced steel frame high-
rack structure and analyses the effects of mass eccentricities that can be realistically …

The concept of cold-formed light steel (CFS) framing construction has been widespread after
understanding its structural behavior and characteristics through massive research works …
